Chapter Seventy-Seven: Loyalty
"Feng Ezhe is the king of Shunyi, I heard that he will be sent out of the fortress to reward the meritorious chieftains of the various tribes in Monan!" Liu Cheng repeated what Zhao Wende said, raised his head to the sky, and showed a meaningful smile on his face: "Huang Taiji, Huang Taiji, you and I really can't tell whether we are friends or enemies, otherwise why did I just send your head to Jingshi, and the court would let people dig my corner!" To be honest, I really regret that I didn't accept your proposal now, and I am about brothers with you, and we will share the kingdom together! You say, is our emperor also too anxious, the birds are hiding with good bows, the cunning rabbits are dead and the lackeys are cooking, the enemy country is ruining and the ministers are dying, and I haven't entered Shengjing City yet! Isn't he afraid that I will turn around and enter the city of Beijing? β
Zhao Wende didn't dare to make a sound, and stood aside with his hands tied. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info Liu Cheng laughed twice: "It's a pity that you are dead, and the dead can't fulfill the contract with me, so I have to wronged you to watch this big show underground." But don't worry, I'll send your three brothers down to earth with you soon!" Speaking of this, Liu Cheng suddenly stood up and said sharply: "Mr. Zhao, you immediately draft a document for me to Guihua City, so that they can entertain this Shunyi King well!" β
Naturalization City.
"How's that, big enough?" Snowflakes fell on Fu Gucheng's face, melting between his hair and beard.
Fugu Heai poked his head out of the felt cart, and a large area of buildings was spread flat on the banks of the Yellow River, with towering floating temples, raised walls, and monks' houses. The old man took a deep breath and folded his hands piously and saluted to the Silver Buddha Temple.
"Uncle, it's been a big change here for more than a year!" Fu Gucheng gestured triumphantly: "Presumably, the Han people's Jingshi is nothing more than this, right?" β
"This is all the kindness of Lord Jinong!" Fu Gu Heai thought about his nephew's words: "By the way, have the leaders of the other tribes arrived?" β
"Almost!" Fu Gucheng replied cautiously: "Uncle, your journey is the farthest, let's go to the temple to rest first!" β
"Wait!" Fugu Heai: "Let's go and meet the Great Khan and Lady Jinon first!" β
"Uncle, you've worked so hard all the way, let's go and rest first!"
"Nonsense!" The two already gray brows of the servant Gu Heai furrowed: "The Great Khan and Mrs. Jinong are the masters, and we are the servants, how can there be a reason to go and rest first if you don't go to see the master first?" How did I teach you in the past? On the battlefield, you should rush ahead of the adults, and you should keep your eyes open when the adults are resting. Compared with knowledge and brains, we can't compare to the Han people, we can only be faithful, diligent, and down-to-earth to do things, don't play that little clever. The reason why there is a problem on the Han side is because there are too many smart people, too few honest people, the courtiers are thinking about their own affairs, no one is thinking about the Great Khan, we Mongolians can't learn from them, understand? β
"Yes, yes, Uncle said yes!" Fu Gucheng didn't dare to look up when he was reprimanded by Fu Gu Heai, and after a while, he said in a low voice: "Uncle, in fact, Mrs. Jinong is not feeling well, she is recuperating, and she has not seen any outsiders during this time!" β
"Really?" He Ai glanced at his nephew suspiciously.
"Of course it's true!" A layer of cold sweat oozed from Fu Gucheng's forehead: "How dare I lie to you about this kind of thing!" β
"Humph! Forgive me for not daring! He snorted coldly and returned to the carriage. Seeing that his uncle had let him go, Fu Gucheng breathed a sigh of relief, made a gesture to the coachman, and motioned to move on.
When he came to his residence, he had just rested when he heard a gentle knock on the door outside, and he frowned and said, "Who is it, come in!" β
The door was pushed open, and in came a dozen old men dressed in furs, almost all of whom had a plump white beard on their chins, and Gu Han had a strong and ruddy face; Harhan has drooping shoulders and a slender body, with only a few tufts of hair on his bald hair; The beggar is still so powerful, the beard of the chin is neatly arranged, and in addition, there are many unfamiliar faces. He frowned for a moment, he didn't like this situation, obviously these people came for a purpose, everyone knew the inside story, only he didn't know anything.
Gu Han hugged and kissed his old friend on the cheek, followed by Harhan and Beggar Er, everyone was polite, but their eyes made Fu Gu Ha Ai's heart unspeakably irritable. The men discussed in a relaxed tone how many horses, cattle, and sheep had been added to their tribe; how much money was made by buying and selling wool and tendons; How much booty and wages did their children and grandchildren get? Their voices were relaxed and cheerful, but they could still feel that there was something hidden beneath the relaxed tonesβthey just didn't know what they were.
"By the way, Brother Fugu, have you heard of it?" Gu Han seemed to finally hear Fu Gu Heai's heart, and patted him on the shoulder with a smile.
"What did you hear?" "I don't know what you're talking about, how do I know if I've heard of it?" β
"Ah, you don't know yet?" Gu Han showed a fussy expression, which made Fu Gu Ai extremely annoyed: "Don't you know? The Son of Heaven of the Ming Kingdom made Lord Jinong the Marquis, and he also named Ezhe the King of Shunyi! β
"Ezhe? That Ezhe? Fu Gu Heai didn't react for a while, and asked subconsciously.
"Which one else could there be? The elder brother of the Great Khan, the eldest son of Lin Dan Khan! β
It took a while for him to come to his senses. Although the death of Lin Dan Khan was only a few years ago, it was already like a lifetime to him, as for the name Ezhe, it had already been left in the deepest part of his brain, and he couldn't help but feel a little trance when he was suddenly mentioned by someone.
"Brother, brother!" Gu Gu Heai was distracted, and hurriedly patted the other party's shoulder lightly, and asked, "What's wrong with you?" β
"Nothing!" Fugu Heai shook his head: "Are you sure? Why did the emperor of the Ming Kingdom want to be the king of Shunyi? He didn't make any contribution in Beijing! β
Gu Han showed a look of surprise on his face: "Brother, you don't know yet, it's all spread here!" β
"Gu Han, don't talk about what you have and don't have!" A man with an unfamiliar face next to him smiled: "The most important thing is that I didn't say it, Brother Fugu, there is news that the imperial court of the country wants to let this Zhe come to our side to inspect and give a reward!" β
"A reward?" There was a look of suspicion on Fugu Heai's face, but the strange man said in a very positive tone: "That's right, it's a reward, silver, tea, fine silk, grain, everything, as long as you are willing to go, everyone has a share!" Speaking of this, he turned his head and glanced at everyone: "Am I talking about it?" β
Fugu Heai saw the mysterious smile that made him feel bored from everyone's faces, and he waved his hand in annoyance: "You are saying that the country wants to make Ezhe the king of Shunyi, and you sent him here to inspect us and give us a reward, right?" β
"Yes!" The crowd replied in unison.
"Then you all go to him and get this reward?" Fugu Heai asked.
Everyone nodded as if pounding garlic, and the strange man who had just spoken smiled and said: "Kowtow will have the benefit of nothing, why don't you take it, anyway, it is our duty to kowtow to the son's family!" Right? β
"Fart!" Fu Gu Heai's face turned red, and he stepped forward and slapped the man who had just spoken, and shouted: "There are many people on the grassland who only have the blood of the Jin family, do you all kowtow one by one?" When you take a little silver or tea, you forget who your owner is? Are you also worthy of being Mongols? β
"This-" The man was suddenly slapped by Fugu Heai, but he was frightened, Gu Han hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Fugu Heai, and persuaded in a low voice: "How can this Ezhe say that he is also the eldest son of Lin Dan Khan, and he is still the brother of the Great Khan, so it's not too much for everyone to kowtow to him a few times!" β
Fugu Heai pushed Gu Han away and shouted, "Gu Han, don't muddy the water. Have you forgotten what happened at the beginning? Lin Dan Khan acted perversely, put aside the good Yellow Sect and did not believe in it, and insisted on converting to the Flower Sect, but as a result, everyone rebelled and had to migrate westward. He fought with the Ming people again, and was defeated by Lord Jinong in Ningxia. If it falls into the hands of Bu Lost Rabbit, whether it is Ezhe or Abunai, they will be the same as Lin Dan Khan, wrapped in a felt blanket by Bu Lost Rabbit, trampled to death with a war horse, it is the mercy of Lord Jinong that allowed Ezhe to save his life, and Abunai became a great khan, and the blood of Ba'er only Jin will only kill them. As for you, your wives and daughters will be reduced to concubines of the Lost Rabbit; Children will become slaves to herding sheep, and you yourself will not have the strength to herd cattle and sheep, nor will you have the beauty to please the rabbits, and the only end will be to cut your throat like an old hound and throw it to a hungry wolf! β
Fugu Heai's fierce words made the faces of everyone in the room blue for a while and white for a while, and after a while, Gu Han Fang said in a low voice: "Brother Fugu, we naturally won't forget the kindness of Lord Jinong, but after all, Mrs. Jinong didn't say anything about this matter, let's go and perfunctory, and mix up some benefits by the way, it's not too much, right?" β
"Guhan, sheep are smarter than you!" Fugu Heai sneered: "Lord Jinong killed the leader of the Eastern Captives, and made such a great contribution, that the Son of Heaven of the Ming Kingdom made him a marquis; Ezhe didn't do anything in Beijing, but he made him a king, and asked him to patrol and reward us, why do you say this? You said that Madame Jinon didn't say anything, do you still need her to give orders for this kind of thing? When your dog sees a wild wolf coming, does it still need your order before going up and biting it? So what's the use of having this kind of dog? β
Everyone in the room looked at each other, and after about half a sound, Gu Han asked cautiously: "It sounds reasonable for you to say this, but Jinong didn't speak, and we are still a little empty in our hearts!" β
"Gu Han, Gu Han, I really don't know what is in your head!" There was a sneering expression on Fugu Heai's face: "After all, Lord Jinong is the minister of the Ming Kingdom, did you let him clearly order that you should not go to see Ezhe?" How do you tell him to say that? And why didn't Mrs. Jinong get sick early or late, and now she suddenly gets sick? And where did you get this news from? Master Jinong must know this kind of thing before you, why didn't he say anything? Not taking a stand is actually an attitude! β
The last sentence of Fugu Heai hit the key point of everyone, although the Mongols are simple, these people are chiefs and elders, even if they have not done anything about intrigue, they must have seen it. It's okay if Liu Cheng isn't here, but Minmin said that he couldn't see outsiders when he was sick, which was a bit abnormal, should the superior take this opportunity to test everyone's loyalty, right? Thinking of this, everyone panicked, and Na Guhan said: "Why don't we go to the Qiesang Living Buddha to inquire first, he is the confidant of Lord Jinong, and he must know the inside story!" β
"Humph!" Fugu Heai sneered: "I bet you won't see Chesan at this time. β
The crowd looked at each other and did not speak. One of the lightest grades secretly went out, and after about a meal, he came back, and everyone's eyes suddenly gathered on his face. He shook his head: "I didn't see it, the lama on duty said that the living Buddha of Chesang was in retreat to comprehend the Dharma, and no one saw it!" β
Gu Han still didn't give up: "Did you say when you will leave the customs?" β
"The lama on duty said when he would finish his enlightenment and when he would come out, and he didn't know the specific time!"
"Brother Fugu, what do you think we should do now?" Everyone immediately surrounded Fugu Ai in the middle, as if grasping the last straw to save their lives.
"The easiest thing to do is to do nothing and act as if nothing had happened!" Fu Gu Heai thought for a while: "But you probably said a lot of things that shouldn't be said before, and this kind of thing must not be hidden from the people above!" β
"Ahh Is there any way to remedy that? β
"Remedy?" Fugu Heai thought for a while: "I have a way, but I'm afraid that you won't dare to do it!" β
"What's the method?" Gu Han hurriedly asked, "As long as you take it out, there is nothing we dare not do!" β
"Yes, yes, Brother Fugu, please say it!"
"Say it!"
"It's easy to say!" Fugu Heai smiled: "The Son of Heaven of the Ming Kingdom suddenly gave Ezhe the hat of the King of Shunyi, because he felt that Lord Jinong was too strong, and he was afraid that after he eliminated the Eastern Prisoners, he would threaten the Ming Kingdom, and wanted to use Ezhe to recruit a group of subordinates to weaken the strength of Lord Jinong." In fact, this method has been used by the Han emperor, taking an empty title and various rewards to lure us Mongols to vendetta against each other, and he will be safe. But the adult is the minister of the Ming Kingdom, and there is no way to oppose it openly, this is your chance. β
The people in the house are not rookies, and at this time they all understand the meaning of Fugu Heai. Fugu Heai looked at everyone's faces and said with a smile: "Wealth and wealth are in danger, and it depends on you whether you do it or not!" β
Under the clear blue sky, at the junction of heaven and earth, the screen-like mountains on the north and south sides are faintly visible. A group of cavalry walked slowly, and several large flags were hunting under the blowing of the wind, and they could only vaguely see the words "Ming" and "Make" on them.
